p.1 #1 · Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G first day out

Yesterday I received a 14-24mm lens I bought from another FM-member. Thus far, I have been more the 50mm-plus kind of photographer (200mm is one of my favorite focal lengths) and I still need to get used to the ultra-wide perspective, but I have the strong feeling this is going to be fun.

Here is the setup:

And here is the result:

Nikon D700, 14-24m f/2,8G at 14mm and f/8, 1/40 sec., -1.3EV exposure compensation.

Thanks for looking.

EDIT: The pictures are too big, will try to fix that.
EDIT2: There, that's better!

Congratulations finding some color! I'm in Westboro and having trouble getting inspired lately with winter settling in :-)

Thanks. The weather was GREAT today. In the morning we all went sledding with our two kids and the neighbors' two and after a late lunch I got permission to walk around with the new lens for an hour. The sun was just on its way down making for a nice warm light on a cold day.

Thanks, lxdesign, I am starting to realize that. I took a few test shots of boring objects and I am thrilled by the optical quality. Everybody says so, but it is a different story to experience it first-hand. I don't mind the weight of that lens either (especially when working with a tripod).
